Rama Sethu: Mamta Mohandas joins Jayasurya’s film based on Metro Man E Sreedharan

As announced earlier, Jayasurya will be starring in ‘Rama Sethu’, a film based on the life of Metro Man, E Sreedharan. VK Prakash will be directing the movie and it is scripted by S Suresh Babu. Pre-production works for this ambitious film is currently progressing.

Recently, through an Instagram post, Mamta Mohandas revealed that she would be starring in the film. The actress recently won the ‘Woman of Substance in Art’ award organized by Cimar Kochi. E Sreedharan handed over the award making it even more special for Mamta.

E Sreedharan, a Malayali by birth, is credited for changing the face of public transport in India. He is well known for his efficient leadership in building the Konkan Railway, Delhi Metro and Kerala’s own Kochi Metro. VK Prakash’s ‘Rama Sethu’ will focus on Sreedharan’s professional journey and since it has a biopic nature, the movie will traverse multiple timelines.

Jayasurya will be portraying Sreedharan’s life from the age of early 30s to 80s. The story will be told from the perspective of two characters – Uthaman, a railway canteen employee, and his daughter Lathika, a textile worker. The story will be about how Sreedharan inspired Uthaman and his family. Mamta is supposedly playing Lathika’s part in the film.

The makers are planning to start shooting in October. Arun Narayan is producing the film and veteran Ravi K Chandran will be wielding the camera.
